Quality Transformation

Quality transformers can be compared to the oyster. When a tiny foreign particle invades (enters) the oyster’s home, it secretes a liquid that combines with the particle to finally create a pearl.
The pearl can live in the oyster's home for the rest of the oyster's natural life without causing any disturbance.

In the same way, rather than react negatively to people and events, we can accept them and mould with them. Through thoughts of acceptance and power, our consciousness jumps to another level of perception and we realise that what we might have previously regarded as a problem can, if handled correctly, be a means to develop our strengths and remove our weaknesses.

We will realise that a problem or can in fact be a gift : it all depends on our perception of the experience. The choice is ours and not anyone else's…at the end of the day we all have to live with ourselves...!

Exercise in silence
Have some quality time for yourself and make your silence creative by noticing all those "problems" that come in order to become your… pearls.
Remaining detached from the external form of the situation let me ask myself:

- What message / quality is hidden behind the external name & form?

- Which internal power should I develop so that I can stay uninfluenced?

- Where will I draw that power from?

- Which pearl do I still deprive myself of?

Less is More

Anything that goes too far, like too much thinking, speaking, acting or even listening can become a problem. When I feel complete I don’t need to have an opinion about everything. I don’t need to prove anything to anyone.

Becoming a True Server of Humanity

A true server of the humanity is like the sun that always shines no matter what is happening. The sunlight is always present and available, otherwise there would be no life on earth. To become as benevolent as the sun, I need to go beyond my limited needs and desires, beyond my limited problems and excuses and start right now to share with my brother and sisters unlimited, pure, selfless love through my thoughts, words and actions.

What's the 'recipe' for a solution...?

Problems
Let's look at a 'recipe' for a problem...:

• Take a difficult situation and keep churning it in your mind...
• ...the more you churn the heavier it becomes ...
• Spice it up by adding some appropriate adjectives, 'terrible','unfair', 'wrong', ...
• Add some 'guilt' and a hint of 'victimization'...
• (Adding old problems intensifies the 'flavour'...)
• Put aside for a while to rest and rise after adding some 'excuses' and 'blame'.
• Take the 'mixture' and empty into a mould of your choice.
• Bake in a hot oven of 'anger' and 'bitter memories' and serve hot or cold to your 'friends'.
• It goes with tea or coffee and mainly with 'good' conversations about 'recipes' for other problems.

Bon appetite...

The self, unplugged...

Situation
We tend to focus on what is negative in order to improve a situation; we get so concerned about someone's negative characteristics or the obstacles of a situation. Our thoughts are coloured by our concerns. Thus all of our spiritual and finally our physical resources go wasted...

While it is easy to investigate and talk about what other people should do to change themselves and their behaviour, it is also important to see what one can do to bring about a change in oneself.

What to look for in oneself?
We need to have the pure desire to keep changing ourselves. With this awareness, effort is put in continuously to change old unwanted patterns of behaviour by consciously replacing them with true values. 

Values are related to each other as if they were members of a great family. For the one who is committed to one value is the one who is able to emerge the other connected values. Such a person is able to add quality to everything he does and speaks.

When I am introverted I am able to recognise my own special value and use it with commitment in my daily life, I am able to experience success in all I do. This is because I have the commitment of giving my best and of having added quality to everything I do; and... here comes contentment!
